Review
"The best introduction to transaction processing systems I have ever read." - K.Torp, ACM Computing Reviews, November 1997
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Principles of Transaction Processing is a clear, concise guide for anyone involved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems, or engineering products. This book provides an understanding of the internals of transaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them. It includes the architecture of Web Application Servers, transactional communications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction and system failures.
The use of transaction processing systems has changed in the years since publication of the first edition. Electronic commerce has become a major focus for business data processing investments, from banking and stock purchase on the web, to eBay auctions, to corporate database management. New standards, new technology and products, and new languages allow web services and SOA to become the leading style of design for enterprise applications.
And with the help of this book and its rich examples, you will be able to produce the state-of-the-art applications discussed within.
* Complete revision of the classic "non mathematical" transaction processing reference for systems professionals.
* Updated to focus on the needs of transaction processing via the Internet-- the main focus of business data processing investments, via web application servers, SOA, and important new TP standards.
* Retains the practical, non-mathematical, but thorough conceptual basis of the first edition.

Format:Paperback
Good basic text about transaction processing. Much easier to read than Gray/Reuter or Weikum/Vossen, but hence also more superficial in content. It contains neither much theory nor much implementation details.
Format:Paperback
An excellent general introduction into the field. Probably the best introductory book in the field.
5 star content - but I would agree with the reviewer that said "just for some reason I couldn't stop falling asleep while reading it!". The presentation is rather too dry and could do with being spiced up. (Hence only 4 stars)
Format:Paperback
Phil Bernstein is one of the gurus in the database community. This is an excellent book. It is well written and very informative. I highly recommend it.

Overall good, but a little dry
If you're looking for a smaller & cheaper tome than Gray & Reuter's TP bible, look no further. This book explains stuff in good detail... Read more

Buy this book if you plan on touching MTS!
This book says more about the programming model implied by MTS than any book currently on the market, despite the fact that MTS is covered only briefly in one chapter.
